TCH-Sales Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 Well, let us know what problem your having and we'll all try our bests! Quote
MoonFaery Posted December 5, 2003 Author Posted December 5, 2003 For some reason I always get stuck at the Melody/Nelson part! I'd like to know why. People have fixed it for me and I've gone on with it and then something happens where I reinstall MT and it happens all over again. It doesn't even think the username Melody even exists much less the password Quote
MoonFaery Posted December 5, 2003 Author Posted December 5, 2003 I tried the new file they have out called mt-medic that is suppose to fix that by letting me add admin and it isn't even letting me do that either. I get the following error: An error occurred: Invalid author id '0' at /home/moonlit/public_html/weblog/mt-medic.cgi line 746. I tried getting help from the MT site, but nobody is replying Quote
MoonFaery Posted December 5, 2003 Author Posted December 5, 2003 Yep, this one is a new install with the current version. I'll be here for a few hours if anyone can help me via one of the messaging programs too. Feel free to message me. Quote
charle97 Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 ok, i fixed it for you, so you should be able to login now. Quote

MoonFaery Posted December 5, 2003 Author Posted December 5, 2003 Well geeze, it gives me that error and posts it anyways.. Quote
TCH-Sales Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Hmm, you might double check the permissions on your folders. Quote
MoonFaery Posted December 5, 2003 Author Posted December 5, 2003 Weird.. I checked em and I checked the instructions and I checked the FTP settings. Everything "seems" to be right Quote
charle97 Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 permissions for the 'weblog' folder should be set to 777 Quote
MoonFaery Posted December 5, 2003 Author Posted December 5, 2003 YAY!!!!!!!!!! THANKS AGAIN CHARLES!!! Am I annoying yet?? And as always... Rock Sign Quote
blunted Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 I am having the same problem with MT that she was originally having. I had mt MT installed on another server with no problems, but now I cannot log in. The MT instructions say that I should contact my webhost regarding db_upgrade... help! Quote
blunted Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 I moved my files over from my old server, EHostPros.com... who all of a sudden decided to stop allowing MT on their servers (ba$tards). After installing MT, I attempt to log in, and even if I input the default Melody/Nelson username/password, it tells me "invalid password". Per MT's installation instructions, this is what I'm told: First, and most important, back up your DB files; you need to create backup copies of all of the files in your db directory. (If you do this by downloading the directory, make sure to transfer it in binary mode.) The easiest way to convert the DB files is to use the db_upgrade program; unfortunately this is not available on every server, but it may be available on yours. To find out, log into your shell account, and type the following at your shell prompt (<db_dir> is the path to your db directory): $ cd <db_dir> $ db_upgrade *.db *.idx If your server has db_upgrade, this will convert all of your DB files over to the new format. If this works, you're done, and you can skip the following steps; Movable Type should now work. If the above db_upgrade command does not work--for example, if you get an error saying that command not found--then you will need to use the following method to convert your data. This method dumps out all of the data from your DB files, then loads it into new versions of those DB files. The program used to dump the contents of your DB files is called either one of two things: db_dump, or db_dump185. To determine which program you need to use, first try running the following command in your shell account: $ cd <db_dir> $ db_dump author.db If this command is successful, you will see a screenful of data dumped out. If it is unsuccessful, you will get an error message; in this case, try using the following command: $ db_dump185 author.db Again, if the command is successful, you will see a screenful of data. If this also fails, then you will need to contact your hosting provider. Now that you have determined which db_dump program to use (either db_dump or db_dump185), you can dump all of the data from your old DBM files and load it into new versions of those files. To do that, try the following (substitute db_dump185 instead of db_dump, if necessary): $ db_dump -f author.db.data author.db $ mv author.db author.db.old $ db_load -f author.db.data author.db $ chmod 666 author.db You will need to run these four commands for each file in your db directory whose name ends in .db or .idx. After you have done so, you're done, and Movable Type should now work. So you see my problem :-\ Quote
charle97 Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 did you restore a backed up copy of your db from your old host to your new account? if so, check the CGIPath and any other configuration option that may have changed in your mt.cfg file. Quote
